Thanks, new peeps.

Came by Brownwood about noon and a police car had the entrance blocked.

Lots of cars (employees maybe ?) parked in the surrounding lots.

Does that mean the cart path is now open or do you have a street legal cart?

Default Follow up regarding the cart path

Group, Re: Golf cart path. This morning all of the baricades was gone. We drove down the cart path all the way into Brownwood. Only two tunnels under the road was open. My golfcart is not street legal. I would say by 9:30 A.M. the villages put the baricades back up. We was told they are delaying the soft opening for two more days before we left. It was probably a good decision as it looked like to much construction was still going on to have a lot of golf cart traffic mixed with contractor trucks and dump trucks still working in the area. I will say Brownwood is nice. I am impressed with what I seen. The transitions from the golf cart trail to the road crossings on the way down is so smooth it is no longer is like hitting a speed breaker. Me and my back thanks the people involved in making that happen. Now if they can fix the older areas.

There is a story in The Daily Sun today stating that Wildwood city commissioners approved an ordinance, Monday evening, to allow golf cart traffic in Brownwood. Apparently that is required since part of Brownwood in within Wildwood city limits. Probably explains why the golf path was unblocked and then blocked.

Cool. Have to see if the Barnstorm Theater lists movies yet. Had thought Seven Psychopaths was set to open in the Villages but do not see it on the Fandango listings for Friday, October 12.

I am assuming the theater is opening Friday too...they aren't publicizing anything because it's a "soft opening" via word-of-mouth but the movie theater is 100% done.
